At the time she said of the scaring: "It looks like someone's got a knife and stabbed us in the bum. It's like a shark attack.”

Fans noticed her scar once again as she posed for new bikini pictures on the beach to show off her incredible weight loss.

Sophie told The Sun Online she’d dropped four dress sizes, from a 16 to an eight, and lost seven inches from her hips.

She explained: “I’ve been the fat girl out of Geordie Shore for so long – there was a point where I couldn’t even see my vagina in the shower as my stomach was covering it and had to lay down in the bath if I wanted to shave it!

“A real turning point was when me and my ex-boyfriend Joel Corry and we were on a beach in Barcelona and the pictures came out on my birthday - the 8th November, and I burst out crying as the comments were so disgusting.

“He’s ripped, he loves the gym and I was the fat girl next to him, and people were saying, ‘No wonder he’s so muscly if he’s got to lift her every day, why is he even with her?’

“Those comments hurt so much, it was my birthday and I didn’t want to see anyone, I just wanted to crawl into a hole.”
